Men's Road Cycling UCI World Tour 2025 (Tour de France)

[Grassmarket 4,026]

Off we go, final climb.....

 

Probably Lipowitz v Onley the only real battle.  Cold and raining, perfect  conditions.

 

Also Gall v Roglič for fifth maybe.

Nasty cold & rainy day in the Jura,  for no stupid accidents at this point.  

 

Already seeing some good riders having trouble holding wheels.

Another day with "crash" written all over it.  They've taken the final time already - but everyone has to cross the line to officially finish.  None of the big names seem to be backing off.  

 

Pogačar is going for the win, but there has obviously been a peace treaty agreed in the White Jersey race, because this is the kind of finish Onley usually contests.

And van Aert gaps Pogačar!

 

And that is it, Pogačar gives up the chase.
